Training in ECDIS Article 76 UNCLOS Continental Platform. c) ICEMAN Expedition (Marine Scientific Research for Maritime Safety in the Antarctic) in which different scientific activities as developed; hydrographic, oceanographic, sedimentological, monitoring drifting ice, biological, geomorphological, whale marine mammals, among others. The conditioning of OPB ARC 20 de Julio to navigate in Antarctic is relevant. This OPB was built by COTECMAR Colombia Navy. His construction guarantee proper operation at high latitudes. In this expedition managed to run 100% of the planned activities, which reflects the preparation of the participant scientists, crew and operational capabilities of the ship, and of course, the effective support of friendly countries, especially Chile that through the Commander in Chief of the Navy, the Directorate of Maritime Territory and Merchant Marine (DIRECTEMAR) and the Chilean Navy Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (SHOA), they constituted support and fundamental tools for the full implementation of the expedition. 2 Ver también la orientación en las Publicaciones Náuticas publicadas por los Servicios Hidrográficos, pe.

CONCLUSIONS The Colombia HO continues growing, thanks to the support of our central government, institutional support, Antarctic programs and the support of the IHO MS who have selflessly worked with all our activities.
Without minimizing the importance of all water activities in our country, the ICEMAN Antarctic Expedition is our greatest achievement, the result of tireless scientific interest of Colombians who look beyond the warm ocean disposal, for contributing to science, the safety of navigation and the environmental protection Just as in the Antarctic expedition, Colombia wishes to keep a close relation with the Member States to reiterate our will and desire to continue contributing decisively to the implementation of projects that contribute to generating new knowledge Atte.
